Full Description: <p><strong>Rowans</strong> is an exceptional, recently constructed barn-style country home, occupying a plot of approximately 0.21 acres in a wonderfully rural position between the villages of Radwinter and Wimbish. The property is surrounded by open countryside yet remains within easy reach of Saffron Walden and benefits from the efficiency and clean architectural lines of a contemporary modern home.</p><p>The distinctive exterior is finished in dark weatherboarding beneath a tiled roof, with extensive glazing bringing natural light into both floors. A generous driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the detached cart lodge, while the house is complemented by an enclosed garden, paved entertaining terrace and far-reaching views across the surrounding rural landscape.</p><p>Inside, the accommodation extends to approximately 2,210 sq ft and has been thoughtfully arranged for modern family life. The entrance hall features impressive full-height glazing behind an open staircase, which enhances the sense of space and light. A ground-floor cloakroom is located nearby.</p><p>The separate sitting room is a beautifully proportioned, dual-aspect reception room, offering a comfortable space in which to relax while enjoying plenty of natural light and views towards the surrounding countryside. A freestanding log burner provides an attractive secondary heat source if required, although the exceptional insulation and highly efficient air-source heating system mean it is likely to be used only occasionally.</p><p>The kitchen is fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry, quartz work surfaces and a substantial central island incorporating breakfast-bar seating. Integrated appliances include a Neff induction hob with downdraft extractor, Neff Slide&Hide oven and combination microwave, full-height refrigerator, dishwasher, wine cooler and Quooker boiling-water tap. A separate utility room offers further storage, work surfaces, a full-height freezer and space for laundry appliances, together with independent access outside.</p><p>The light-filled first-floor landing leads to four generously sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and contemporary en-suite shower room. Bedroom two also enjoys its own en-suite, making it ideal for guests or older children, while the remaining two bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower.</p><p>Rowans has been designed with energy efficiency firmly in mind. Its eco-conscious credentials include an air-source heat pump, underfloor heating, high-performance glazing, excellent levels of insulation and energy-efficient lighting. These features contribute to an excellent EPC rating of B, offering the opportunity to enjoy rural living without compromising on modern comfort or environmental performance.</p><p>Outside, the setting forms an important part of Rowans’ appeal. The pond establishes a wonderful sense of arrival at the front of the house and helps to soften the barn-style architecture within its rural surroundings. To the rear, a paved terrace provides an inviting space for entertaining and summer dining, while the lawned garden offers an attractive and manageable setting for family life. The detached cart lodge and extensive driveway parking further enhance the practicality of the property.</p><p><strong>Agent’s Notes</strong></p><p><strong>Tenure:</strong> Freehold.</p><p><strong>EPC Rating:</strong> B</p><p><strong>Council Tax:</strong> Band G – Uttlesford District Council - £3,809.31pa.</p><p><strong>Utilities:</strong> Mains electricity and water.
